A week after leaving the national team camp, Cristiano Ronaldo gave his version of the facts in a statement in which he accuses Jorge Jesus of having broken his word to him on two occasions, and also apologizes to the Portuguese.

Cristiano Ronaldo's words once again had a high impact in the foreign press. Marca, in several publications, takes a generic approach so that the reader clicks on the pieces and reads, without giving much away in the headlines. AS highlights the sentence in which Cristiano Ronaldo says that Jorge Jesus broke his word - as L'Équipe indeed does - and recalled the video of Jorge Jesus talking about Maradona and Pelé, as he had agreed with CR7.

Olé, from Argentina, quotes that Ronaldo says "the pure truth", adding that he left "more bombs" about his farewell to the national team. In its headline, La Gazzetta dello Sport talks about Ronaldo's desire to return to the national team. On the day of England's match, the BBC places Ronaldo in the background, highlighting that he still does not think about retiring from the national team. Lastly, GloboEsporte emphasizes the breakdown of trust between Jesus and Ronaldo.
